Margao: Odisha FC paid dearly for going a man short in their ISL-9 clash against FC Goa at Fatorda’s Nehru Stadium on Saturday.
S Nandhakumar was sent off after being shown a second yellow card in the 65th minute with the teams locked goalless at that time.
In the game’s last quarter of an hour, FC Goa took full advantage to pump in three goals without reply.
Substitute Brison Fernandes broke the deadlock after 74 minutes, off an assist from Noah Wail Sadaoui.
Four minutes later, Noah himself showed good opportunism by slamming home a loose ball after goalkeeper partially cleared an Alvaro Vazquez chip.
Vazquez then got into the scoresheet in the 90th minute, off a Noah assist.
It was Odisha’s first defeat after three consecutive wins.
The Juggernauts are now in fourth place with 18 points from 9 matches – just 4 points adrift of leaders Hyderabad FC who have played a game more.
